/vr/ - Retro Games

So I just found out that a couple months ago the creator of The Neverhood has decided to make a "spiritual successor" - and not a direct sequel due to licensing issues with EA - with two colleagues from both Neverhood and Earthworm Jim and with the original musician, and will take it to Kickstarter.

For some reason /vr/ thinks my post with the address is spam - search it, there's tons of links to the subject.

It's a cynical, cruel and terrible time we live in, when the actual creator of your childhood's favorite game has declared that, with no ties to publishers, he's making another game of that kind, and you're relieved to learn THAT HE WON'T TOUCH THE ORIGINAL. I should be disappointed to hear that I won't get the Neverhood 2 (Skullmonkeys doesn't count), not relieved that he can't possibly violate it's corpse like others have done to theirs! also the horrible realization that EA has rights to the Neverhood franchise please don't tell them please don't I'm begging you keep this to yourself please

Your opinions on this?
